Welcome to this week’s newsletter!
What does a good week at school really look like? It’s rarely defined by the loud moments or the obvious achievements. More often, it’s shaped in the small, easily overlooked things — a child sticking with a tricky spelling instead of giving up, a calm word at the door, a routine that brings reassurance rather than rush. These are the moments that don’t always make headlines, but they do the real work.
As school settles further into its rhythm, this week feels quietly important. Not flashy. Not frenetic. Just purposeful. There’s a steadiness returning to classrooms and corridors, where learning is happening alongside confidence, kindness, and character — built one choice at a time, by individuals doing what they can.
The Bible puts it simply in Zechariah 4:10: “Do not despise these small beginnings.” It’s a timely reminder that change rarely arrives all at once; it grows because people decide that their part matters.
And, apropos of that, Ted Lasso had it right when he said, “Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing.” A line worth holding onto as we move through the term — for children and adults alike.
Here’s what’s coming up this week, and the small things that, together, make a very big difference.
